Connected Success

A powerful lesson I learned from an introverted friend: “Network like you mean it.” We’re often told networking is about big events and small talk. But for introverts, that’s exhausting. So my friend did it differently: 1. She ditched the big events. 2. She focused on one-on-one conversations. 3. She asked deep questions and really listened. And guess what? Her network grew faster and stronger than ever. No need to shout or be the life of the party. She built meaningful connections quietly, and they lasted. Now, she’s known for the depth of her relationships, not the volume of her voice. If you’re an introvert, try this: Focus on a few real conversations. Ask the questions no one else does. Follow up with genuine interest. Want a quick way to do it? Shoot me a message, and I’ll share her exact questions that break the ice. To my friend, thank you for showing me a different way to connect. To everyone reading this: Play to your strengths, not someone else's rules. P.S.

Vulnerability isn't weakness - it’s a sign of strength. A story from the real world: Picture this: A boardroom, 2020, the middle of the pandemic. A CEO faces her team. Her move? → She shares that there are problems at home due to the pandemic → Her marriage is collapsing and she is stuck with her partner 24/7 → She tells her team how grateful she is for their support Feels risky? It was. But here’s the twist: ? The team rallied around her ? Trust levels skyrocketed ? Everyone felt more connected The outcome? A unified, high-performing team. Networking takeaways: 1. Share your real stories 2. Admit when you don’t know 3. Show up as your true self In your relationships: ? Are you only sharing the good stuff? ? Do you ask for help when needed? ? Are you open about your challenges? Real connections aren't just built on wins. They grow in moments of honesty. P.S. What's one time you showed vulnerability and it paid off? — If this content resonates, repost this to your network. And follow me Ronen Olshansky for more

Networking isn’t what you think it is. Forget what you’ve heard about: Extroversion → Introverts often excel at building deeper relationships. Serendipity → Don’t rely on chance; make things happen. Charisma → You don’t need to be the life of the party to make real connections. Visibility → It’s not about being everywhere; it’s about showing up consistently. Here’s what actually works: 1. Be Fully Present: Focus on who you’re with and listen deeply. 2. Plan Your Interactions: Think ahead about who you want to connect with and why. 3. Keep Showing Up: Make regular contact so you stay fresh in people’s minds. 4. Use Your Strengths: If you’re an introvert, your listening skills can be a superpower. Networking is not about playing a role or leaving things to chance. It’s about being yourself, being strategic, and showing up consistently.

Celebrating our amazing coaches here!

Networking or Timewasting? Anybody in your life ever make a joke about your networking efforts just being a chance to go out and expense a coffee or lunch? I’ve certainly heard it before, but I could not disagree more. I’ve always been a big supporter of building genuine connections and maintaining relationships in business and life and at it’s core, that’s what networking is. As part of my own personal growth and development plan for 2024, I joined the Beyond Connections program, and while I’m only 3 weeks it has been an incredible 3 weeks. Just last week I was able to meet up in person with fellow participants Eric Ho and Uladzimir Yakushau for lunch, and the conversations were nothing short of inspiring. This program has truly exceeded my expectations. The focus on building authentic connections and supporting each other is a game changer. I’m excited to keep learning and growing with this fantastic community! Here’s to more physical and digital meetups and meaningful connections ahead! #BeyondConnections #Networking #Community Connected Success
